So the production of an e-book will be a probability for the long run and we'll probably have to deal with issues of image copyright before anything of the sort happens.<br /><br />Still, I recently produced page bundles in *.pdf for the purpose of easing review: http://palaeos.com/review.html .Draconteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03498874161240951744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5460788270738656369.post-28511192289125470482013-05-13T21:15:43.091+08:002013-05-13T21:15:43.091+08:00There are a number of re-packaged Blenders out the...There are a number of re-packaged Blenders out there (free, open source 3D software) and the main way to counter these parasites is to mobilize community awareness. <br />Here I'd say, it'd be great to see an official palaeos eBook format so that it could be propagated as a direct, free direct eBook. As it is, <br />I posted negative reviews at amazon and google pointing to the source and this review.davidmaashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16696298300141402317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5460788270738656369.post-44122998430131731442013-05-13T09:12:16.758+08:002013-05-13T09:12:16.758+08:00As far as I could tell, there was no citation of s...As far as I could tell, there was no citation of sources, but of course I didn't have access to the entire book. To be honest, as I was aware of the Creative Commons licencing, it wasn't so much the copying that irritated me as the charging $70.00 for it. I don't make any money off anything I write here at CoO, but I'd still be annoyed if I discovered someone else was.Christopher Taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11075565866351612441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5460788270738656369.post-86798877158686258432013-05-12T16:00:40.721+08:002013-05-12T16:00:40.721+08:00One of the site's managers here.

Rather peculiar turn of events.<br /><br />Since Alan's material is on a creative commons attribution license as long as the author of that book didn't forget to cite their sources I'm afraid this will have to stand as it is.<br /><br />Thank you all the same for mentioning the situation on Amazon.Draconteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03498874161240951744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5460788270738656369.post-16026745402919574212013-04-23T21:38:01.580+08:002013-04-23T21:38:01.580+08:00Your comment is posted on Amazon ... at least for ...Your comment is posted on Amazon ... at least for now.Hollishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10788942181934895493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5460788270738656369.post-17888191186431079912013-04-23T18:56:18.811+08:002013-04-23T18:56:18.811+08:00No idea, sorry, it's been a while since I was ...No idea, sorry, it's been a while since I was in regular contact with its managers.

Mind you, a bit of scouting around indicates that Amazon has a history of not allowing similar comments elsewhere (see some of the comments <a href="http://www.chrisrand.com/blog/index.php/2010/02/27/odd-tale-alphascript-publishing-betascript-publishing/" rel="nofollow">here</a>, for instance) so I don't know if mine will actually get through.Christopher Taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11075565866351612441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5460788270738656369.post-91728700972959739052013-04-23T13:31:33.900+08:002013-04-23T13:31:33.900+08:00Thanks for your suggestion.
